One of the most amazing parts of the adoption journey is the walk through all the "firsts" that these children experience. Katie embraced each and every first with a gusto and vigor that is extraordinary! The Christmas season is proving no different...she loved getting the tree, and tonight we went to her first ever Christmas party. It was at my grandmother's retirement home, and it was complete with food, music and a Santa (a skinny & unique Santa, but Santa none the less). The girls had some very cute dresses - and did a little showing off on the dance floor.
Katie was a bit unsure at first about the whole Santa thing (it might have been this particular Santa)....
...but she warmed up very quickly!
Auntie "D" came along for moral support as well as the extra set of hands that was necessary!
Me and my girls (who were, at this point, quite frankly more interested in their gifts from Santa!)
Maybe Santa will bring al ittle romance to Grandma this year??
It was a lovely way to get the holiday party season started and it was a great first Christmas party for Katie!
Have been following your blog for some time--but I think this is my first comment---I LOVE the way you always have the girls dressed alike! These dresses are beautiful! the "first's" was my favorite thing about our first year home too!!! Have a very Merry Christmas!
